Hey friends! New lesson today for In Spite of Ourselves, the classic duet between John Prine and Iris DeMent. I'll start off by showing you campfire chords & strumming, allowing you to play this song even if you're just getting started with guitar. From there, I'll pile on a few additional tricks (e.g. strumming with alternate bass notes) before diving headlong into the Travis Picking fingerstyle used in the song's intro. This passage took me a while to learn, but with time and persistence, I got over the hump! And I'm sure you can learn it just the same. I hope you enjoy!

So glad u did another John Prine classic. Thank you
Good teacher, you get right to the lesson without all the extra talk. Thanks. Oh and love the tab inclusion.
hi david! this song has been my nemesis for 2 years. I absolutely love your teaching style and formatting. i am committed to it now that I have this excellent resource!!! keep up the good work, it is much appreciated by myself and the rest of the community.
My wife & I love this song. Next on the learn list so we can sing it together. Fun choice, love John Prine.
I want the alternating bass. Pls do more like this. Achy breaky heart, dolly parton songs, Josh turner songs. 😄
David, you are a positively brilliant teacher. Thank you, thank you, thank you…
Thanks David 👍🏾👍🏼. ❤ John Prine & the campfire chords/fingerstyle!
Your lesson and song sheet took most of the work out of trying to learn this one. Your page 5 saved me all the work and left just the fun.

Ok ... Been fiddling around with guitar for 2 years now and practicing this song for 2 weeks. I'm determined to learn it but it has been a real challenge.
@songnotes Just wanted to voice my appreciation to you and your videos dave. You were essential to me getting started about 7 months ago! And I just recently hit a milestone and can both sing and play now, although I'll be the first to admit I have a long way to go I'm glad to have something good enough to share. Thanks for being there for me!
Thx David, John Prine songs are such a great place to start learning fingerstyle and travis picking. always simple chords and tasty melody parts.
Great lesson David. I learn many song from your teaching. Thank you👍🎶🎶🎶
I wish I could give you five thumbs up for this one. I absolutely love this.❤🌹Sadly, I discovered John Prine last year and have been listening to everything he’s played, written, and sung. Another song sheet added to my library. I also like your lesson on Paradise.
David, your teaching style is incredibly helpful!!! Thank you so much
Thanks!
I've been trying to learn a barred F for months because it's in so many songs so thank you so very much for these alternatives! Great tutorial :)
Love John Prine as well! Your teaching style is wonderful 😉🎶
Love this song
Bless you for this glorious gift of a lesson. Thank you thank you thank you
You are a great teacher! Thank you!😊🙏
Love your f. It has become a favourite.
This is gonna be a fun one. ‘Preciate!
Sweet Dude! Thank you 🙏
This is really good. Im nowhere newr ready for the fingerstyle, but this guves some great ideas to start playing the song and get used to it and then, hopefully, progress. Great work! Subbed.
Awesome.
Hi David, Just Subscribed, love your lessons especially the ones on John Prine and his brilliant songwriting and music. I don’t know if you do requests but if you do, could I be bold enough to request John Prines “Speed of the sound of loneliness” Thanks David and Take Care.
I just heard the viagra boys version a few months ago. Made me hunt down original. Awesome song.
Good job teaching a fairly difficult picking pattern.
Now only if I could find a girl to duet with:/

Iris Dement told Prine she wouldn't sing it while her mom was still living.
